That is why we share with them the belief in One God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Wrong.

The Creeds reflect what is clearly taught in Scripture. That is why Reformed folk agree with the formulation found in the Creeds and held to by the Roman Catholics.

It's an important but subtle distinction.

And needless to say, Reformed folks would find anyone who does NOT hold to each point in the Nicene Creed as suspect, correct? As you correctly pointed out, the Creeds reflect what is clearly taught in scripture -- I point out to metmom that her post was wrong in attacking the Creed as non-scriptural

"The Creeds reflect what is clearly taught in Scripture."

Since everyone else seems to be afraid to answer this question I'll ask you. Does the Nicene Creed reflect the Scripture or did the Nicene Creed define the faith that defined the Canon of Scripture that facilitated which of the Sacred documents were chosen to compile the Bible?
